A Different Jesus, Different Spirit, and Another Gospel - I

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it! (2 Corinthians 11:4)

Notice that in the above Scripture, we are warned about being led astray to follow:

• Another Jesus
• A Different Spirit
• A Different Gospel

Today, there are certain people that don't even attend church services anymore because they reportedly can't find anyone around to tickle their ears with some exotic teachings. So instead, they hunt YouTube for some teachings that will supposedly take them "deeper". This is dangerous!!

Recently, a pastor called me up and tearfully told me that many people had left his church after attending one preacher's seminar held on the sly in some of his members' homes. That preacher had told them that the pastor was teaching all wrong things and he was the only one with the 'true revelation.' 

New false doctrines, new false revelations and new gospels are springing up almost daily. And it's going to get much worse. The Bible clearly warns that in the last days, strange doctrines will come forth — introducing another Jesus, another Spirit, another gospel! (2 Corinthians 11:4)

Even today, there is an organization that teaches Jesus Christ is, Michael the Archangel – that's preaching another Jesus.

Another organization that has millions of followers teaches that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was not sufficient to save us from all our sins, and so any person who dies is required to go to 'Purgatory' to make atonement and purify their souls – that's another gospel.

The term "Another gospel" means to pervert (to twist a thing around). Those who pervert the gospel destroy it by having additions, distorting the nature of the person and the work of Christ.

Again, there is this organization that teaches the Holy Spirit is just an invisible 'Force' of Almighty God and not a person – that's a different spirit.

Today, it is pretty common to hear people say, "The Spirit led me to do this, the Spirit led me to believe that..." So much confusion is only the result of people listening to their own "human spirit", when what we need to do is return to that Word of God that the Spirit revealed in the first place. If what you are hearing is not aligning with the Word of God, you are listening to a different spirit.

Father, let Your Word convict my heart and change my heart. Help me be connected to the right people. Keep me and my family from false doctrines. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
